This patch adds powerpc specific functions required for
'objtool mcount' to work, and enables mcount for ppc.

I would love to see more objtool enablement for Power :-)

I have not received this series and I can't see it on powerpc patchwork
either (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/)

Did you send it to linuxppc-dev list ? If not can you resend it there ?

It is there, might have been delayed?

There are some CI failures.


On PPC32 I get :

[    0.000000] ftrace: No functions to be traced?

Without this series I get:

[    0.000000] ftrace: allocating 22508 entries in 17 pages
[    0.000000] ftrace: allocated 17 pages with 2 groups




ppc64_defconfig on QEMU:

[ 0.000000][ T0] ftrace: No functions to be traced?

Without your series:

[ 0.000000][ T0] ftrace: allocating 38750 entries in 15 pages
[ 0.000000][ T0] ftrace: allocated 15 pages with 4 groups
[ 0.000000][ T0] trace event string verifier disabled
